[quote=Anonymous]I always thought I wanted to be a stay at home mom. I married an MIT engineer who suffered from clinical depression/OCD. I became the breadwinner since he couldn't hold down a job/did consulting work (mostly worked at night). I ended up with a fabulous career and divorced at 30. I moved down to DC, still have a great career, met someone who is my equal in every way, and we have two kids. I surprised myself: I don't want to stay at home. Mainly because while it was nice to be home for awhile, I saw that developmentally, kids need a lot of exposure to peers. I also can't teach full out montessori in my home--I could but it would be expensive. I am putting my toddlers in an excellent montessori school. The point I am trying to make is: it is a crapshoot and what you think you want you might not actually want. Stop trying to make something happen like marriage and kids and enjoy your life: travel, enjoy your career, take a class. [/quote]
